Mattithyahu (Matthew) 10
10
1And having called His twelve taught ones near, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every bodily weakness.
2And these are the names of the twelve emissaries: first, Shim‛on, who is called Kĕpha, and Andri his brother; Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Zaḇdai, and Yoḥanan his brother;
3Philip and Bartholomi; T’oma and Mattithyahu the tax collector; Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Alphai, and Laḇai whose last name was Taddai;
4Shim‛on the Kena‛anite, and Yehuḏah from Qerioth, who did also deliver Him up.
5יהושע sent these twelve out, having commanded them, saying, “Do not go into the way of the nations, and do not enter a city of the Shomeronim,
6but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Yisra’ĕl.
7“And as you go, proclaim, saying, ‘The reign of the heavens has drawn near.’
8“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. You have received without paying, give without being paid.
9“Do not acquire gold or silver or copper for your money-belts,
10or a bag for the journey, or two undergarments, or sandals, or staffs, for the worker is worthy of his food.
11“And into whatever city or village you enter, ask who is worthy in it, and stay there until you leave.
12“And as you enter into a house, greet it.
13“And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14“And whoever does not receive you nor hear your words, when you leave that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
15“Truly, I say to you, it shall be more bearable for the land of Seḏom and Amorah in the day of judgment than for that city!
16“See, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise#Or cautious, crafty, shrewd. as serpents and innocent as doves.
17“But beware of men, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrins and flog you in their congregations.
18“And you shall be brought before governors and sovereigns for My sake, as a witness to them and to the nations.
19“But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it shall be given to you in that hour what you shall speak,
20for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.
21“And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and a father his child. And children shall rise up against parents# Mic. 7:6 and shall put them to death.
22“And you shall be hated by all for My Name’s sake. But he who shall have endured to the end shall be saved.#See Mat. 24:13
23“And when they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For truly, I say to you, you shall by no means have gone through the cities of Yisra’ĕl before the Son of Aḏam comes.
24“A taught one is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25“It is enough for the taught one to become like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Be‛elzebul, how much more those of his household!
26“Therefore do not fear them. For whatever is covered shall be revealed, and whatever is hidden shall be made known.
27“What I say to you in the dark, speak in the light. And what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.
28“And do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the being. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both being and body in GĕHinnom.
29“Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground without your Father.
30“And even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31“So do not fear, you are worth more than many sparrows.
32“Everyone, therefore, who shall confess Me before men, him I shall also confess before My Father who is in the heavens.
33“But whoever shall deny Me before men, him I shall also deny before My Father who is in the heavens.
34“Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword,#InLuke 12:51 the word “division” is used, while “sword” has the same meaning here.
35for I have come to bring division, a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law –
36and a man’s enemies are those of his own household.# Mic. 7:6#See Luke 12:53
37“He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me, and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.#See Luke 16:16, 17 which explains it more clearly.
38“And he who does not take up his stake and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
39“He who has found his life shall lose it, and he that has lost his life for My sake shall find it.
40“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.
41“He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous one in the name of a righteous one shall receive a righteous one’s reward.
42“And whoever gives one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a taught one, truly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

Matthew 10
10
1 He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness. 2Now the names of the twelve emissaries are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; Jacob the son of Zebedee; Yochanan, his brother; 3Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; Jacob the son of Halfai; Labbai, who was also called#10:3 NU omits “Labbai, who was also called” Taddai; 4Simon the Zealot; and Judah Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5Yeshua sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans. 6Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7As you go, proclaim, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’ 8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,#10:8 TR adds “raise the dead,” and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give. 9Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts. 10Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food. 11Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on. 12As you enter into the household, greet it. 13If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you. 14Whoever doesn’t receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet. 15Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. 17But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you. 18Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. 19But when they deliver you up, don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say. 20For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved. 23But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come.
24 “A disciple is not above his rabbi, nor a servant above his lord. 25It is enough for the disciple that he be like his rabbi, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul,#10:25 Literally, Lord of the Flies, or the devil how much more those of his household! 26Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops. 28Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehinnom.#10:28 or, Hell.
29 “Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? # 10:29 An assarion is a small coin worth one tenth of a drachma or a sixteenth of a denarius. An assarion is approximately the wages of one half hour of agricultural labor. Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows. 32Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. 33But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
34 “Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword. 35For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36A man’s foes will be those of his own household.#Micah 7:6 37He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me. 38He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me. 39He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 “He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me. 41He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. 42Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
